There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Winston Salem to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
